I had braces before but stopped treatment when i was in grade school . I don't remember my teeth shifting back but then a realized one day around 18 or so how crowded my teeth were.

I also see my canine teeth stick out and sometimes it gets stuck on my lip. My crowded teeth on the bottom you can't see sometimes but it really bothers me and I notice people's teeth too( bottom or top). So I know people catch the little things too.

I just really want a perfect smile. I want to light up a room. I want my smile to match my personality.

I got my treatment started on Dec 19th . With measuring and such,
I had my 1st appointment today with the liners and will get my attachments Feb 21st.
I have 8 attachments on the front and 10 buttons throughout.
They are somewhat noticeable right now without my attachments but I sure they will better with them.
I have 25 trays bottom and top ( from the top of my head estimate).
I should take 10 to 12 months.

I am taking the opportunity to get my smile fixed while I have good insurance with my full-time job and live with my parents.
I am at 2800/3000 as of now payed.
It would have been around 5300 without insurance , so it helped.
& my retainer should be 300 dollars after.
I am very excited to get my teeth done and can't wait to revile my final results.

I went in today for the attachments. It took about 30 minutes. It was awkward. I had this thing opening my mouth. I was drooling everywhere ^^. But that's the dentist. They put this stuff on my teeth. I could not see anything. Then they put trays over what they put on my teeth. Had the light sticks to harden them I believe.They did it to my bottom teeth and then I was done. I love my dentists and my office. I start my 2nd tray next Tuesday! I did not have to do two more weeks after putting the attachments. I am on schedule, I have my next 4 trays. I won't see my dentist til April.
Great review?

I get the attachments on next week. But on my first tray, I can see I have a lot of attachments and buttons!

Good for you for getting so much of the costs paid off! That is really awesome!

How do you find the buttons and attachments? Are they pretty uncomfortable for you, or not too bad?
